Ross & Mary Ann Voaley

Well we are almost through the winter and the addition that you folks built for us is standing up just fine. The room above the garage is warm and sunny, so much so that I wonder why we put heating ducts and a gas fireplace up there. But it is great. The sunroom out the back is just made for over-wintering plants and I heat it minimally. However, the room seems to heat itself – the colder it gets outside, the more the electric heaters come on and so the warmer it gets in the room. This little glitch will be fixed when I get a wall thermostat installed for the electric heaters. I should have done that in the first place. Live and learn …
I know that you have walls and binders full of letters of thanks. You can add this one to the pile. Both Mary Ann and I were really pleased with the way in which the construction went. The quality of the job is just excellent. I have had neighbours compliment me on the work done and say that the house looks like it never had an addition put on it. “Seamless” is the word, I guess.
We had lots of people over on Christmas Eve and again for Christmas dinner and it was really great that people had room to spread out. Mary Ann was able to chase all the men out of the kitchen while she got food ready and this time they didn’t sneak back. Great stuff. Please let Stephan and Andre know that the flower gardens all recovered from the Kubota and the jack-hammering and the stomping and the waste bins. She is happy. We were all a little worried about the gardens, but please tell the guys that she didn’t lose a plant. Actually, as regards the gardens, I think it paid off to do the work in winter when everything was frozen.
I’ll close this letter with an open invitation for you to use our name as a reference any time. Heck, with a little bit of notice we can even do tours. I had already recommended Anpaq to my neighbour John over on Bickerton St. He said that he’d called you and that you were coming to talk to him. So I hope that worked out OK for you.
Best wishes and thanks again, Ross & Mary Ann Voaley
